Mike has almost completed all of the exterior finish and the logs are just glowing. The doors, windows and trim all require some special attention and you can see that the crew is certainly attending to the details.

The log portion of Totem House is nearing completion now as the crew places the last pieces into the gable on the building's front side. Now that the roof is on and the windows and doors are in, the construction work moves to the interior. The barge should arrive this week with the next load of building materials.

Now that the distinctive red metal roof is fully in place the crew is completing installation of the windows and doors to button the building up. The roof installation coincided with the brunt of the winter weather during late January and early February so there were some extra challenges but the crew came through just fine. Well done guys!

January 3rd Report Posted By QCL - Thu Jan 3rd, 2008 - Filed under: General
Construction of Totem House took a little break over the Christmas season but the gang is getting back to it now. The decks and verandas are integral parts of the structure so they have to go up in turn with the posts and beams. We're soon ready to start moving up to the second floor. Everybody's excited about that spiral staircase! It looks awesome! Great work guys! - Comments (0) |

November 8th Report Posted By QCL - Thu Nov 8th, 2007 - Filed under: General .jpg) Totem House Construction is Well Underway! We're pleased to say that the construction phase of Totem House is well under way. October was the time for the "dirty work" with prep and foundation construction. The log components arrived by barge on October 23rd, just in time to move onto the next phase. Concrete is all mixed on site with pre-packaged dry mix, a little water, a cement truck and a good bit of innovative thinking! Kudos to our construction crew onsite who are doing a great job amidst the challenges posed by the Charlotte's fall weather! As you can see in the photos, they're ready to start the erection of the log walls so the progress should be particularly exciting over the next few days!
